Slow down there, cowboy!

Your edits to the Libertarianism article are likely to be undone. Please discuss, in great detail, why you object to any individual source on the talk page. Each source (not citation, but source) should probably have its own subject header so it will be easy to archive the discussion for reference, because people will inevitably try to insert it again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MutantPlatypus (talk • contribs) 15:05, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Seasteading and Libertarianism

Though the founder of the Seasteading Institute is himself a libertarian, Seasteading is not a libertarian project. See also The FAQ. Members range from ancap, environmentalist to communist. I'm reverting your edits. Joepnl (talk) 22:04, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya

Look, if you insist we need this article on top of "Libya under Gaddafi", make sure your new article

• focuses on the actual topic, which would be the history of Libya 1977 to 2011, and not the ongoing civil war
• treat it as a WP:SS split off Libya under Gaddafi
• make sure the has new page as at least as much, or in fact more information about the 1977-2011 period than the article you are splitting it from.
  • read this at least to see what content your stub was missing to even begin deserve the status of standalone article

Otherwise, what is the puropse of having a topic on "Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya" which does not in fact discuss the 1977-2011 period, but the ongoing conflict, which has already excellent coverage on pages that are actually dedicated to it.

If you decide you do want to split the entire 1977-2011 period off the existing Libya under Gaddafi article, you will want to respect WP:BRD and seek consensus on the article talkpage first. I for one will argue against such an approach, as it happens that the 1977-2011 period accounts for 34 out of 42 years of Gaddafi's rule, or in other words your new article will have an 80% scope overlap with the existing article. In general, creating articles with 80% scope overlaps is not a good idea under WP:CFORK and you will need excellent reasons to argue why it should still be done. --dab (𒁳) 09:11, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Research Advice re General People's Committee Article

Dear Sageo,

I am writing a research paper on the history of Libyan political personnel and came across a wiki article you contributed to, which I translated from Arabic to English using google. The article is entitled “General People’s Committee” and can be accessed as follows: http://ar.m.wikipedia.org/اللجنة_الشعبية_العامة This article is exactly what I’m looking for, but there is a historical hole from 1990 – 2006. Do you have any idea why these dates are missing from the article? Do you have any information on this topic pertaining to 1990 – 2006 or know of any other sources I can consult to find the missing information? I have to submit my paper to my professor by Monday morning, so if you could prove any help at all, I would truly appreciate it! Please feel free to contact me directly via e-mail at agreen789@yahoo.com.

Thank you in advance for your time and hope to hear from you soon!

Ancap Redirect

Howdy. Could you please stop altering the page 'market anarchism' to redirect to 'anarcho-capitalism'? There is already a page for market anarchism -- which is mostly an anti-capitalist branch of anarchism with well over a century of history. If you want to nominate that 'free market anarchism' page for deletion, you have my support -- on the condition that the redirect goes to the main 'anarchism' page, considering that ancap is extremely marginal and arguably hardly worth a mention in the grand scheme of pro-market anarchist tendencies. There's discussion about this on the 'anarcho-capitalism' talk page (no one's addressed the objections in many months), 'free-market anarchism' talk page and the 'libertarianism' talk page. Otherwise, if you keep reverting, I'm afraid I'll have to file a report for edit warring. Thanks much. Finx (talk) 10:19, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Hoppe

Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Hans-Hermann Hoppe. Your edits have been reverted or removed.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Misplaced Pages's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Misplaced Pages's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being blocked from editing.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.

Sageo, Please undo your last reinsertion of the reverted content on Hoppe and seek consensus on talk. Please review WP:3RR and WP:EW. If you continue to reinsert content without consensus on talk, you may be blocked from editing. Please demonstrate good faith collaboration by undoing your last edit. Thanks, and I look forward to working with you on the Talk page. SPECIFICO talk 02:03, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

You have violated WP:BLP by reinserting the Habermas association on Hoppe

It is not permitted to make unsourced assertions about living people such as the association of Hoppe with Habermas which you have repeatedly reinserted. This policy has been explained to you twice and you should undo your reinsertion of Habermas in Hoppe's article unless you can provide a secondary WP:RS citation for that assertion. This violation must be removed immediately. Please review WP:RS and undo your re-insertion of the violation. SPECIFICO talk 02:08, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
